Photography is one of the defining things about me. I started to learn the technical side of it about 2 years ago and I have been working since then to get better at it. So here are a few photos* that are my favorites...

I snapped this in Disneyland while enjoying the magic of this beautiful place. =)

My friends and I often spend time just goofing off and taking pictures. This is just one of the many pictures I've captured from these great nights.

Last August I took a train ride by myself up to central OR. It was a blast and watching the sunrise on the train made me feel like I was in a dream.

In these years that I have been working with photography I have challenged myself to become more technically proficient. Through that I started working on star trails...and this is one of my more successful ones.

Ain't she cute? That is exactly what I thought when I rook this.

Every summer friends of ours put together a charity carnival and this year they asked me and a friend to take some pictures in the hopes they could put them in the paper. You can see more pictures here: https://picasaweb.google.com/111579306137671523242/CharityCarnival2011

Another thing I challenged myself to do this past year is learn how to surf. I pretty much failed my first time....but I am going to keep working on it

This was taken in the Sierra Nevada mountains where a group of friends and I decided to go hiking. And when you put a bunch of guys together with rocks and water the outcome in something like this. =)

This was one of those pictures you take but don't really care for it until you put it on a big screen and play with it. Now I love it.

These might not be the best pictures* in the world, but they are some of my favorites. =)
